Running a bar can look successful on the surface while still leaving me overworked, frustrated, and questioning whether the business is actually supporting the life I set out to build.
Small compromises, avoided conversations, and fear-based decisions can quietly stack up over time, leading to burnout and limiting both growth and freedom.
In this episode, I walk through a year-end reflection built around five essential questions I use to honestly evaluate my mindset, leadership, and the gap between where I am and where I want to be.
I share how answering these questions helps uncover hidden bottlenecks, redefine what success truly looks like, and create a clearer foundation for more intentional decisions in the year ahead.
